WFMY News 2 Greensboro, NC: "Embezzlement Investigation Could Hurt Christmas Giving
Lexington, NC -- Greensboro's Habitat for Humanity took a serious financial hit when more than $200,000 went missing.
The investigation into the employee blamed for the missing money continues, and the group has yet to name that person.
Now, other non-profit leaders worry the suspicion surrounding one charity could hurt donations to all of them.
They say the case broke at a time when charitable giving is usually at its best.
The holidays remind shoppers to donate to causes that are close to their heart.
Non-profit leaders say it'll take a united effort to make sure that the charitable giving doesn't decrease this season.
Lee Jessup is the president of the United Way of Davidson County.
Jessup says even though 99.9% of charities are doing what's right the embezzlement investigation hurts all of them."
